Xavi Hernandez's Turbulent Tenure at Barcelona

Xavi Hernandez's tumultuous tenure as FC Barcelona's manager ended with his departure at the end of the last season, following a series of highs and lows and a disappointing lack of trophies. A recently released documentary clip reveals Xavi's passionate half-time speech during the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Osasuna, where he urged players to show more mobility and spirit, leading to a 2-0 victory. In another emotional clip, he addressed the team after announcing his resignation post a 5-3 defeat to Villarreal, explaining that he had decided to leave long before the match and felt he was becoming a problem for the club. His remarks were a surprise to the players, who were not informed prior to his press conference. The team, under new coach Hansi Flick, is now building on the foundation laid by Xavi during his time in charge. Despite his departure, Xavi's influence and the challenges he faced remain a significant part of Barcelona's recent history.
